I'll install anything my employer wants on my phone provided they've provided me with the phone :)

How did your situation work out?

Anything? What about software that continuously records everything you say and sends it to your employer?

If we're suddently ok with all kinds of intrusions, just because we got agree phone, that seems like a bad deal.

As another response says: turn off phone is an option. Leave in another room. Note: I didn't say I'd carry this phone with me 100% of the time OR keep it turned on. These are good secondary rules to discuss. (Tangent: how do I know my work computer doesn't already do this?)

If it's not your personal phone, you can just turn the work phone off when you do not want to be spied on.

I didn't hear anything else about it ;)

I ended up leaving after a pretty gruelling death-march (full backend replacement, with a "big bang" switchover). That switched a lot of things to .Net, which is a path I didn't want to go down in any case.

God this made me nauseous just reading it.
